You're installing BES on a DC? Wow, that should be...interesting. - WJR On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 12:23, Ziots, Edward <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Wonderful, We are already on Windows 2008 R2 Dc's now, but I don't think we have raised the DFL/FFL yet. I dunno if we can re-introduce a Win2k3 DC back into the Domain now and have the BlackBerry server point to that one if possible. Z Edward E.

We started to go down that path until we found out RIM did not support it, and numerous hits on Google on problems caused by this config. On a side rant, how sad is it in 2010 that RIM still recommends WS 2003? 32 bit no less! - WJR On Tue, Oct 5, 2010 at 12:14, Ziots, Edward <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Has anyone who has upgraded to Windows 2008 R2 Dc's seen an issue with Blackberry Server 5.x failing to do lookups of contacts (email addresses) in the GAL. Exchange Server is Exchange 2003 SP2. Do an upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 as we speak, and ran into this issue, which is affecting all the black-berry users in the organization. Z Edward E.
